Metal 3D Printing Platform

Conflux 1

Conflux 1 is an easy-to-use, fast, and affordable end-to-end metal additive manufacturing solution. 

Powered by
Metal Paste Deposition

Our powder-free metal 3D printing process can scale from lab-based rapid prototyping into an affordable small-scale production solution.

Conflux 1 makes
functional metal parts way
faster. 

Most parts are finished in less than half the time it takes to make functional parts with metal filament. 

Get functional parts in under 24hrs. 

Conflux 1 makes
metal 3D printing
safer.

Metal that is safely bound in a paste feedstock. No chemical solvents or loose powder, no VOCs. 

Make metal parts wherever you need them. 

Conflux 1 makes
printing metal more
affordable.

Rapidia’s system has among the lowest operating costs of any metal additive manufacturing system. 

Keep low-volume part production lean and agile. 

Printer to Sinter

Dual Extruder

Independent Dual Extruders allow Conflux 1 to print two materials in the same print. Using our Evaporative Support material in one extruder allows printing of any shape, any overhang.

Sealed Feedstock

Quick and easy materials changes. Feedstock cartridges can be stored at any fill level. Stainless steel feedstock containers are reused through our cartridge exchange program.

Conflux Control Rapidia's host software shows calibration tools and interface

Easy Calibration

Rapidia Print is our print management software. It provides built-in extrusion calibration, extruder alignment, and print monitoring.

Open Platform

Prepare prints with your preferred slicer or use Rapidia Cura with added support generation tools. Slicing profiles are tuned for optimal results on Conflux 1, but all settings remain unlocked to give users full control.

Users may also create custom Conflux 1 Furnace cycles for vacuum heat treating, vacuum brazing, or specific sintering needs.
